MLex is a truly global business that serves customers in North America, Continental Europe, the UK, Asia and Latin America. The MLex organisation operates out of various offices around the world including London, Brussels, Washington D.C., Hong-Kong, San Francisco and Sao Paolo.

MLex is looking for an experienced tech/telco correspondent to contribute to our growing European coverage of the major emerging regulatory risks in digital services.

Purpose of the role:

The role is a new one, as we build out our existing digital-risk team across the globe, with parallel expansion taking place in North America and Asia.

The successful candidate will be a senior point person in MLex for European regulatory risk issues from data protection, privacy and cybersecurity to issues surrounding communications connectivity (IoT, net neutrality etc).

The senior correspondent will coordinate on a day to day basis with a senior colleague in London and a correspondent in Brussels, under the guidance of the Global Chief Correspondent in San Francisco, but reporting to the Brussels Managing Editor.

There'll also be frequent collaboration on stories with colleagues in Brussels and across the global network as digital issues arise on beats such as antitrust and financial services.

This is an ideal opportunity to spearhead an area of coverage that's likely to emerge as the most significant area of global regulatory risk, with impact well beyond the digital sectors themselves. Our most senior and experienced journalists also become a voice of authority on their beats to the outside world, with conference and media opportunities encouraged.

This is also an ideal opportunity to relocate to a buzzing international city, with an excellent quality of life - a well-kept secret among global capitals.
